Sarson ka Saag, a classic North Indian dish, is renowned for its deliciously earthy and comforting taste. With Shezan Saag, you can enjoy this traditional dish with a twist, ensuring a richer and more consistent flavor. Here’s how you can prepare it at home easily:
Ingredients:
1 can of Shezan Saag (450g)
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
Salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
2 tablespoons fresh cream (optional, for garnishing)
Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnishing)
Makki di roti (cornmeal flatbread), to serve
Instructions:
Prep the Base:
Heat the ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions turn translucent and slightly golden.
Add Spices:
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder and coriander powder, stirring well to combine.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to meld together.
Incorporate Shezan Saag:
Gently add the Shezan Saag to the spice mixture. Stir well to ensure the saag is thoroughly mixed with the spices.
Season with salt, and allow the mixture to simmer on a low flame for about 10-15 minutes. The longer it simmers, the better the flavors will develop.
Final Touches:
Once the saag has thickened to your liking, sprinkle garam masala over the top and mix well.
If desired, swirl in fresh cream for a richer taste and a beautiful presentation.
Garnish and Serve:
Transfer the Sarson ka Saag to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with warm, buttered Makki di Roti for a complete and satisfying meal.
